Mark Moore, defending said: "It is significant that this occurred on Christmas Day, most of us are fortunate to be with our families to celebrate season of good will.

"For many years Davies had spent Christmas with her family, but it wasn't the case this time and she found herself alone.

"She has been to the doctors since and has been attending a wellbeing clinic.

"Some good has come out of this, as she is now living with her daughter who she had not seen for eight years prior to this incident.

"She helps care for her grandchildren and Diane feels a lot better in this environment."

Despite causing the threat to life, Judge Michael Challinor imposed an 18-month prison sentence suspended for two years and that Davies must attend a rehabilitation programme as well pay costs of £140.
